Buckwheat Cover Crop Seed 5lbs by Old Cobblers Farm

Old Cobblers Farm buckwheat seeds are a warm-season annual that can be useful in sandy soils, food plots, or blends with other warm-season crops. To grow buckwheat, broadcast a cup of seed over 100 square feet (or 1 pound per 300 to 500 square feet; or 60 to 80 pounds per acre) and rake it in about an inch deep. It will sprout, grow and begin to bloom within six weeks – without any added fertilizer. Buckwheat is a fast-growing annual. The simple leaves are heart-shaped and borne along reddish hollow stems. The white flowers are produced in terminal clusters and are pollinated by bees and other insects. The kernels of the triangular-shaped seeds are enclosed by a tough dark brown or gray rind.
